Builders of single-speed, fixie, touring or vintage-style road bikes that need brake levers without integrated shifting.
The Tektro RL340 is a classic aero brake lever for drop bars, with the cable routed under the bar tape for a clean look. The forged aluminium lever and roomy rubber hood make it comfortable to ride on the hoods for hours.
A built-in quick release opens the brake so the wheel slides out easily. Because it's a short-pull lever, it matches road caliper brakes, mechanical road disc brakes and mini-V brakes.
This pair is the all-black version, black lever with black hood, and weighs around 300 g for the pair.

Clamps to standard road drop bars. Short-pull only: road calipers, mechanical road disc brakes and mini-V brakes.
Set lever position before taping
Fit the levers, then sit on the bike and check the hoods feel level and the lever blades are easy to reach from the drops. Tighten the clamp and wrap the bar tape only once you're happy, as moving them later means re-taping.
